Ponteio
Era um, era dois, era cem
Era o mundo chegando e ninguém
Que soubesse que eu sou violeiro
Que me desse o amor ou dinheiro...
Era um, era dois, era cem
Vieram prá me perguntar:
"ô voce, de onde vai
De onde vem?
Diga logo o que tem
Prá contar"...
Parado no meio do mundo
Senti chegar meu momento
Olhei pro mundo e nem via
Nem sombra, nem sol
Nem vento...
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá cantar...(4x)
Prá cantar!
Era um dia, era claro
Quase meio
Era um canto falado
Sem ponteio
Violência, viola
Violeiro
Era morte redor
Mundo inteiro...
Era um dia, era claro
Quase meio
Tinha um que jurou
Me quebrar
Mas não lembro de dor
Nem receio
Só sabia das ondas do mar...
Jogaram a viola no mundo
Mas fui lá no fundo buscar
Se eu tomo a viola
Ponteio!
Meu canto não posso parar
Não!...
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá cantar, prá cantar
Ponteio!...(4x)
Pontiarrrrrrrr!
Era um, era dois, era cem
Era um dia, era claro
Quase meio
Encerrar meu cantar
Já convém
Prometendo um novo ponteio
Certo dia que sei
Por inteiro
Eu espero não vá demorar
Esse dia estou certo que vem
Digo logo o que vim
Prá buscar
Correndo no meio do mundo
Não deixo a viola de lado
Vou ver o tempo mudado
E um novo lugar prá cantar...
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá cantar
Ponteio!...(4x)
Lá, láia, láia, láia...
Lá, láia, láia, láia...
Lá, láia, láia, láia...
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá cantar
Ponteio!...(4x)
Prá cantar
Pontiaaaaarrr!...(4x)
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá cantar!
Strumming
It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
The world was coming and no one
Knew I was a guitar player
Who could give me love or cash...
It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
They came to ask me:
"Hey you, where you headed
Where you from?
Just spill what you got
To share"...
Standing in the middle of the world
I felt my moment arrive
I looked at the world and saw nothing
No shadow, no sun
No wind...
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing...(4x)
To sing!
It was a day, it was bright
Almost noon
It was a spoken song
Without strumming
Violence, guitar
Guitar player
Death all around
The whole world...
It was a day, it was bright
Almost noon
There was someone who swore
To break me
But I don’t remember pain
Or fear
I only knew the waves of the sea...
They threw the guitar into the world
But I went down deep to find it
If I grab the guitar
I’ll strum!
I can’t stop my song
No!...
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing, to sing
Strumming!...(4x)
Strummmmmm!
It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
It was a day, it was bright
Almost noon
To wrap up my song
Seems right
Promising a new strum
One day I know
Completely
I hope it won’t take long
That day I’m sure will come
I’ll say right away what I came
To find
Running through the world
I won’t leave the guitar behind
I’ll see the time changed
And a new place to sing...
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing
Strumming!...(4x)
La, laia, laia, laia...
La, laia, laia, laia...
La, laia, laia, laia...
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing
Strumming!...(4x)
To sing
Strummmmmm!...(4x)
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing!
